The proprietary Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage module is available for the HDS Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) and uses Hitachi's flash memory controller and multi-level cell flash technology in a 2U flash tray.
Hitachi also unveiled a new 8U chassis built specifically for the Virtual Storage Platform. Each 2U flash tray contains 12, 1.6 terabyte (TB) flash modules. Each 8U flash chassis can hold up to four flash trays. One VSP system can hold four new flash chassis for a total of 6.4 TB to 76.8 TB per flash tray, and 307.2 TB of flash per system.
